Noticed this as well.

It's a minor inconvenience for someone who is organised or is used to store secretes securely but a complete nightmare (including a security nightmare) for your average Joe.

Thanks EU, thanks governments for your precious regulations that keep us safe.

I wonder how many similar stories there are in fields I'm not an expert of.

The thing is - I read both EU and local regulations and they don't demand any certain approach to security. Nothing is stopping banks from providing a better experience except dire warnings and prescriptivism of security consultancies.

I talked with fintech founders and they mostly say "sure, we could give better user experience and then have a fight on our hands with auditors because we didn't fill out all the checkboxes from the reputable security consultancy that 'interprets' the requirements"
